Christopher Goes, Co-founder of Anoma, discusses intent-centric architecture, redefining money, and socio-political implications of blockchain. They explore worker cooperatives, governance in tech, and peer review revolution with Anoma Research Topics.

Season 7 | Episode 2In today's episode Mike and Hart are joined by Christopher Goes, Founder of Anoma. Chris unpacks flawed assumptions baked into current blockchain design and explains his vision for an intent-centric topology. Chris critiques the limitations of existing virtual machines modeled on outdated centralized mainframes, arguing they cannot keep pace with user needs. The discussion then explores the two key phases of intents - counterparty discovery and settlement. Chris then elaborates how solver networks can connect and route intents across blockchains to unlock seamless interoperability. To close out they dig into how zero-knowledge proofs economically emulate inter-blockchain verification, greatly reducing computational overhead. Stay tuned for all of this and much more!--Follow Christopher: https://twitter.com/cwgoesFollow Hart: https://twitter.com/hal2001Follow Mike: https://twitter.com/MikeIppolito_Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3R1D1D9Subscribe on Apple: https://apple.co/3pQTfmDSubscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3cpKZXH- -Join us at DAS (Digital Asset Summit) in London this March!
